Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem delivered a scathing rebuke of country star Zach Bryan’s anti-ICE song, exposing how Hollywood elites attack the very law enforcement officers protecting American communities from illegal immigration.
Secretary Defends ICE Against Celebrity Attack
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem unleashed fierce criticism against country musician Zach Bryan during an interview with conservative host Benny Johnson. Noem expressed extreme disappointment with Bryan’s new track “Bad News,” which specifically targets Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. The Secretary emphasized that Bryan’s song constitutes an attack on dedicated professionals working to secure American streets and communities from criminal illegal immigrants.
In case you forgot, here’s a reminder that Zach Bryan is an anti-American POS.
ICE agents are attacked DAILY- bricks thrown at vehicles, shots taken, people spitting at them. And he demonized them further.
Don’t see his shows.
Don’t download his songs.

Hypocritical Artist Protected by Those He Attacks
Johnson highlighted the glaring hypocrisy in Bryan’s position, noting that law enforcement officers provide security protection during the singer’s concert performances. Despite benefiting from police protection, Bryan chose to release inflammatory lyrics attacking federal agents. Noem responded by praising law enforcement’s professionalism, explaining that officers protect everyone regardless of whether individuals respect their service. This principle demonstrates the integrity that separates law enforcement from celebrity critics who bite the hand that protects them.
Promoting True Patriotic Artists
Noem announced her intention to support genuinely patriotic musicians instead of Bryan, specifically mentioning Jason Aldean, John Rich, and Kid Rock. The Secretary praised these artists for understanding what it means to defend American freedoms and values. Noem expressed satisfaction that she never financially supported Bryan’s career, stating she was happy to avoid enriching someone who attacks law enforcement. Her endorsement of pro-America artists sends a clear message about supporting entertainers who respect constitutional principles and law enforcement.
Zach Bryan calling cops cocky mother fuckers is certainly rich.
There are multiple videos of him disrespecting and big timing local authorities after he broke the law.

Dystopian Lyrics Contradict American Reality
Bryan’s controversial song lyrics paint America as a dystopian landscape where children live in fear and traditional American culture is dying. The track includes profanity-laced attacks on police and ICE agents, portraying immigration enforcement as oppressive. However, this negative portrayal directly contradicts the reality of President Trump’s overwhelming electoral victory, which included winning every swing state and the popular vote. Trump’s clear mandate demonstrates that Americans support strong immigration enforcement, making Bryan’s anti-ICE message completely out of step with mainstream American values and democratic choices.
